A Hucknall four-year-old was left so ‘horrified’ after thieves smashed their way in to his favourite hairdresser that he decided to give his pocket money to the shop.

Theo Roberts hates having his haircut and only trusts one barber shop to do it for him – Barber Bolger on Derbyshire Lane.

However the shop was broken in to last Thursday, January 25, and according to the owner, Simon Bolger, thieves smashed his shop door and window, took the £120 of earnings in his till and stole two iPads he was selling for a customer –potentially leaving him more than £1,000 out of pocket.

When he heard this Theo, who has been a customer for a year and a half, decided to give the money he had saved from chores around the house to help out.

“I like him because he tries not to hurt me when he’s cutting my hair.

“I would like to give him some money to help.”

His mum, Kerry McMinn, 37, is “proud” of what he is doing and has now set up a GoFundMe page called “Little Theo's Barber Bolger Fund” to help.

She said: “My four year old has more integrity than whoever broke into this local business and I want to help him to help his barber.

“I'm sure there are loads of customers around Hucknall who could spare a couple of pounds and help Theo to do what he wants to do.”

Mr Bolger, 51, who has run the barbers for nine years, normally takes his daily earnings home but as he was going to a David Bowie tribute show that evening he left them in the till but on Friday morning found the door of his shop smashed in and the money gone.
